The 365 Project

sometimes we all
try to explain it
i do it too
but sometimes it’s
unwise to unravel
and dabble in
the why
because the fruit
is soft beneath
the rind

like they say
if you explain
it away
it’s gone

we have looked out
the window upon the
giant face
who strokes its chin
while we’re inside
quickly rendering it
invisible
the diamond
in the mine
is still
a stone

like they say
if you explain
it away
it’s gone
